alone

alone
because i am not understood
locked away
in others' preconceptions

alone
because i am not given
the chance to be heard
to be seen as i am

alone
unaccepted yet welcome
inside but out
never on the mind of others
who are always on mine
a lost social butterfly

is it so wrong
to want to belong
yet struggling to be different
to be true?

am i to be blamed
for things i never knew
could sting?

can i be condemned
for not knowing how
i have affected you?

all i need is respect
as a human being with flaws
from my fellow sinners
to no longer be

alone
